The maker of an extension cord build for Tesla Superchargers comes forward to address concerns made by the Tesla Cybertruck's lead engineer.
Tesla's head engineer slammed a new extension cable for Superchargers The maker of the cable clapped back with assurances of safety and further testing It also accepted legal liability should something go sideways while charging Remember when Tesla's head Cybertruck engineer dropped a hot take on Supercharger extension cables a few days ago? Wes Morrill advised 'against' using them, resulting in the cable manufacturer, A2Z EV, reaching out to him to discuss specifics—now...
For starters, the cable has its own temperature sensors on both ends. A2Z says that if a sensor determines that the cable is too hot, it will shut down, potentially preventing the cable from overheating should the charging session go sideways. It's their way of clapping back by saying, 'Yeah, we thought of that.' The company also confirmed that it would be held legally liable if things were to go awry and the cable was deemed to be at fault—be it for damage to the cars or from fires.
